Tyler's big 8!

Tyler celebrated his birthday 3 times! He got to bring treats at school,



we had pineapple upside down cake at home, and ofcourse a special dinner,



but the day he was the happiest was the day he got baptized. Tyler was the happiest 8 year old I have ever seen.

Football Season

Well, I never thought Scott would be more competitive than I am, but he proved me wrong.

As Tyler started to play football this season, I encouraged him to be more...competitive, and Scott reminded me that it is only his first time and they are kids, not to push him too much.

Well, a few days go by and somehow Scott manages to become one of the coaches and OMG poor Tyler. Needless to say My baby is a darn good coach and he likes it almost as much as hunting.

I love the time that Scott gets to spend with Tyler and I am sure Tyler likes that as well.

Tyler is really good at this, I am finally getting football.

Back to School

It has been busy the past couple of months. We went back to school and that doen's look like is going to slow down anytime soon. Parker is in Junior High this year and he can't be more excited. Tyler and Austin still with me at the school, I don't think they area as excited as Parker but is ok.
So...here are some pictures of the boys on their first week of school. I can't believe I totally forgat to take their pictures on the actual first day, but I made it up. I am sure Parker didn't mind me forgetting.

My Boys

Camping Trip with The Browns

We went camping for the Brown family reunion. We went to Sage Ridge area and it is a beautiful place. We camped right next to a creek, so it helped keep the area cool on those hot days.

The cousins loved seeing each other again.

We got to shoot some BB guns,

Play in the water,

And we got to go for hikes.

During our hike, Austin picked up flowers for mommy.




Austin is resting from all that walking.

The kids resting so we can continue with the hike.

12 years... where did the time go?

Parker turned 12 on July 10, he also received his pristhood. He had the pleasure of having lots of family around to celebrate with him. I bet he felt special!Parker and Nicole. Parker in the morning of his birthday, aunt lala made him a special breakfast while I did his chore (mowing the lawn.) The boys take seriously their birthday, because they get to be kings for a day and that means that they get to do nothing. Parker and his dad, after a special day at church.Happy Birthday my love.Austin and mom.

Having fun with my sister and Ernie and the girls.

Almost all the cousins, we sure missed Sisi's kids and Chris' kids.

Ernie, me, Mia and Thalia.

I loved having you Lala, I miss you already.

My Parker, I can't believe he is 12. I must be getting older, I just don't feel it yet.

Evelyn and her family in Idaho
